How Teens Smuggle Booze Under Your Nose

You can watch the full video at the link, but I'll summarize:

Under-age teens have figured out that they can soak Gummi candy (bears, worms, LifeSavers, whatever) in vodka, and then carry the candy into school, sporting events, movies, etc. The knowledge is spreading quickly through social networking like Facebook.

Left overnight, the gelatin in the candy can soak up a lot of liquid. Since vodka doesn't have much of an odor, you have to eat the candy or smell it carefully to realize it has been soaked in liquor.

“Did you happen to see the new Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition? There was an interesting bit about illicit liquor deliveries to the U.S. Capitol Building.”

Capitol liquor deliveries were replaced by a Scotch pipeline during the Ted Kennedy decades. It has since been rerouted to his eternal flame in Arlington.

About 10 years ago, on one of our cruises to the Caribbean/Mexico, we had a cruise line that wouldn’t let you bring local booze on board. So help me, they checked your packages. We figured they wanted you to buy the same stuff on shipboard, which while cheaper than the U.S., it wasn’t by much.

Wifey and I packed LARGE water bottles in over the shoulder bandoliers, filled them with gin or vodka and strolled aboard unmolested.

Didn’t take that cruise line again. Don’t want to mention names as we took four cruises and I can’t remember which one it was. It wasn’t the looked-down-upon Carnival, where we had a pretty good time with the younger crowd even though we were old fuds even then.

When Carter signed a bill legalizing home-brewing in 1979, the craft beer industry followed, providing many more choices. It was one of the few things he did right.

So Billy Beer wasn't just happenstance.

So Billy Beer wasn't just happenstance.

Actually, Billy Beer preceded the signing of the bill.

It was distributed by some big brewing companies... at least they were at the time. It was a promotional gimmick that used the President's brother as a spokesman. But, even Billy preferred something else.
